Jones capable of filling district justice’s shoes

Todd Kelly and Jeff Aurea have been stalwarts in the Altoona District Justice offices for many years.

As they prepare to step down, I believe Altoona Police Lieutenant Ben Jones stands ready to capably fill District Justice Kelly’s shoes.

Through hard work and perseverance, Jones has assumed a leadership role in the police department.

I’ve had the opportunity to observe Jones as he conducted investigations and interviewed victims, witnesses and suspects.

He handled them all with a calm, professional demeanor that I believe he would carry into the office. He treats everyone with compassion and respect and he strives for fairness at all times.

Jones has close ties to the community, and he truly cares for the safety and quality of life for his constituents. His experience has prepared him for the office.

Vote Ben Jones.

John Closson, Altoona
